If it cleared my skin, boosted my glow, or made me feel like that girl — it’s going on this list. These are the skincare gems I’ll scream about from the rooftops because gatekeeping? Not in my regimen.
If this ever gets discontinued, I’m emailing corporate AND calling HR. Hydrates, smells expensive, and I don’t even need gloss anymore.

She’s bougie, but she works harder than half my old skincare routine. Respectfully.
